Wonder who we'd have signed if Chandler stayed with Dallas.

1. Warriors
2. Thunder
3. Clippers
4. Grizzlies
5. Spurs
6. Rockets
7. Pelicans
8. Jazz
9. Suns
10. Kings
11. Mavs
12. Blazers
13. Wolves
14. Nuggets
15. Lakers

We'll have a good chance of returning to the playoffs again. 2 spots will open up in the top 8, with Dallas and Portland falling off. The Thunder will undoubtedly grab one of those spots (baring another injury riddled season), the Suns and Jazz will probably be duking it our for the remaining 8th spot.

Yes and i think we will be in top 8. Utah will get ninth seed.

Coin toss between us and them, Utah looked really good at the end of the season - especially defensively. The Pelicans will likely improve but they're by no means a lock to make it to the playoffs either, too reliant on one player - i.e. an AD injury could change the whole outlook of their season.

With D-Will Mavs should still make the playoffs, but not by much.

D-Will is dead. He can't carry a team. Dallas has zero chance IMO.

JTrain · Post #30 » by **JTrain** » Sat Jul 11, 2015 6:49 am

No need to carry the team. He's good enough to help out at PG.

D-Will - Harris until December (WM is hurt) - Parsons - Dirk - Zaza
Barea - R-Jeff - X - X - Charlie-V

NO DEFENSE at all. I don't see Dallas makes playoffs.

I dont think Mavs will make the playoffs. Dirk is old, Parsons is mediocre, Matthews is coming off a major injury. The rest of their roster is pitiful. Its gonna be us, Jazz and the Pels fighting for the 7-8 seed.

They've been static for so long, their old roster is getting older, they did nothing to improve it... at some point gravity takes over.

You are crazy, we will struggle to get to 30 wins with this **** squad.

And somehow still get the 13th pick.

I think Utah will be better than new Orleans thus year.

If we won 15 games we'd still end up with the 13th pick somehow.

Post #40 » by **Qwigglez** » Sun Jul 12, 2015 2:46 pm

I think we can be a top 5 team in the West. I'll make my outlook post later.

Estimate Suns wins for the 2015-2016 season
